Well, it’s just a wish but I hope they understand that especially government departments need to switch from a spy OS. Congrats to gendarmerie.

I wish these decisions would cause a domino effect around the world.

Didn’t really notice until now, though it seems some English speaking people used these dashes in their books apparently but I don’t think I ever read one of them. It’s hilarious to see these cultural differences may cause problems like this. :)

Eh, I meant the whole pyramids but fair enough.

No worries. I tried to look on my English novels first but couldn’t find anything like this. I was almost certain that I saw this in one of the Roald Dahls but nope. Well, learned the official name of it too, quotation dash. Thanks.

I definitely wasn’t trying to write a list, it was a riddle or a conversation. What I was trying to do is this:
Though, it seems speech dash is not a thing in English. So I understand the confusion.

Apparently there is already a separate symbol for speech dash, which is —. However its keyboard shortcut is obscure and I couldn’t remember it later, but Markdown already covered this it seems. Writing
—renders as —, which I’ll do from now on, if I don’t forget about it next time. - Comment on (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ 1 week ago:
I don’t have a screen reader installed so I cannot try it but I can guess how it can screw with it. However I agree with Monkey With A Shell here. It’s not realistic for all users to follow semantics, this can only be solved with a better software.
While I use markdown daily, apparently there are still things I don’t know about it. Well, I mostly learn them when I need them but still. So, I could use
—(speech dash) instead of-, which I assume wouldn’t cause a problem with a screen reader. There is no way for me to remember its shortcut on the keyboard, but it seems Markdown already covered this with—which ends up rendered as—.Thanks for making me noticing about it, learned something new today.

How is it breaking accessibility?
- Comment on (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ 1 week ago:
Well, that’s the reason why I didn’t write it like that. I wanted it to look like a dash, just like in novels.

- Comment on Why can't I make posts to the GOG forums? 5 weeks ago:
This looks like an error on GOG’s end. Did you try to delete all cookies and cache (for GOG) and try to login again? Ctrl+F5 should do the trick. I would suspect Librewolf’s strict security but since it happens on others as well, it doesn’t seem like the issue here.

Not sure I would want something like that.

Maybe this is something related to your ISP for some reason? Was it still your wi-fi or a mobile internet?
- Comment on Why can't I make posts to the GOG forums? 5 weeks ago:
Might be my speculation but if it’s your first ever post, I think you cannot post links. When I try to post my first thread, same thing happened. After removing the link in the thread, I was able to post.

Thanks!
Hmm, I don’t think my ISP interfering with the DNS since it’s easy for pi-hole to bypass. However it’s more likely that this website is blocked in the whole country, presuming because of the R18 content. All of the ~booru sites are blocked as well.
- Comment on Find That Anime! The Ultimate Anime Reverse Image Search Guide 1 month ago:
I checked my usual suspects like pi-hole but they were not it. However, it seems it’s my ISP like you said, because I can connect to the site via Tor or VPN. Thanks for checking though.

My TLS version is 1.3 and functional. I got
MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERTerror which means this website is self-signed and apparently browsers tend to distrust self-signed websites. For Google certificates, I have GTS Root R1 to R4. Do I miss something there? If so, how do I update it? - Comment on Find That Anime! The Ultimate Anime Reverse Image Search Guide 1 month ago:

- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 1 month ago:
That’s an emotional reply. However he did fucked up the country pretty bad. But he uses Ataturk’s methods to stay in power, which apparently he studied them well. Of course it doesn’t describe him alone, he’s a combination of an Islamist, a centrist and a Kemalist. More or like what an islamokemalist is.
